Are sushi consumers being served the fish they ordered?
This lab investigates whether the labeling of fish in sushi on the menu is accurate or if consumers are being deceived. Surprisingly, this has become a concern in the food scene, as some sushi restaurants are substituting expensive varieties of fish with subordinate options.
The findings presented in this lab were based on four different fish samples collected from local San Francisco sushi restaurant, New Nagano Sushi (3727 Geary Blvd. San Francisco, CA 94118).
The different types of fish samples that were collected are photographed and listed below:
Sample #1: Albacore (white tuna)
Sample #2: Hamachi (yellowtail)
Sample #3: Tai (red snapper)
Sample #4: Saba (Japanese mackerel)
Approximately 20 minutes after the fish samples were collected, they were placed in the freezer, where they were kept for 42 hours.
